Have you ever disowned one of your siblings?

I disowned my second oldest sister on New Year's Day this year. She had it a good 15 years coming.

sounds like she really made your blood boil for too long. if your that upset with somebody your better off without them family or not. i'm happy to say i've never got to the point of feeling like that.

I can't imagine HAVING to do that. How sad. My sisters, (I have two) and I are good friends, and I always hope we will be. It must have been a terrible disagreement.

I haven't totally disowned anyone. I've kind of put some distance between my sister and i though. We used to fight a lot as teens, but then for a few years when I had kids we got along great. Then she married a total jerk. They were only dating 2 months when she got pregnant so she got married 6 months pregnant. He doesn't do a good job at being a man and helping to take care of his family. He treated her like crap, kept overdrawing their account and lying about where he was going. She left him and I dropped everything to go get her and moved her in with my family. Two months later she went back without really fixing anything. We all were against it even though I was more vocal than others. I have a hard time being okay with it knowing what he has done and said to her. Plus now she is the only one supporting their family while he sits on his butt collecting unemployment. So I try to just stay away from them so I don't have to fight the urge not to say anything.

A similar thing happened with my sister mentioned above. She stayed with us for a week though, and by the end of that week I was so stressed out that I had chest pains and had to take off from school. I wanted to cause her physical pain. That is also when I lost all sympathy for her, and I never wanted to hear any of her sob stories again.

No. I've never done that. I think some of the worst things that have ever been said to me were from siblings, and some of the worst things that have ever happened to me were from siblings, but I still love them. I've stayed a length away for a while, but there's nothing like family. When they start dropping off one by one there becomes emptiness like you've never experienced before. I believe each time someone you love leaves here, each time it takes a little piece from you.
